To part or not to part.

Just picked up a 68 C30 tonite. Pretty awesome optioned truck. But I cannot keep it. Will have to be parted or sold as as whole. Just cant decide if I should blow this thing apart or leave it whole. Its rough. Lots of rust, pretty banged up, but its complete. No motor and someone swapped in a 4 speed which is there. Check out the spid.

Thoughts....?

Sell it whole. If you were close I would buy it. I've been looking for one for many months.

That was a nicely ordered truck,alright. Looks like someone replaced the chrome bumper. This truck shows that side mouldings came on cab & chassis trucks.

I think it would be a shame to dismantle it. I think it should be restored.

The biggest problem is pretty sure im in it too much already to sell as a whole. I guess ill see what happens. Will be a couple weeks before I can touch it anyway.

very cool indeed.

My dad is in driving distance but unfortunately it has AC. That is a deal breaker for him.

I saw that on craigslist and wished I could get it. I think it would be sweet restored.
